Description

The Bently Nevada 3500/22M card is part of the 3500 Series Machinery Monitoring System designed for condition monitoring, protection, and diagnostics of critical machinery in industrial environments.

Product Name:

Bently Nevada 3500/22M – Proximitor/Displacement Monitor Card

Product Description:

The Bently Nevada 3500/22M card is an essential module in the 3500 series machinery protection system. It serves as a Proximitor/Displacement Monitor used to measure displacement, gap, or vibration in rotating machinery. The 3500/22M is typically paired with proximity transducers or eddy current sensors to monitor machinery like motors, turbines, compressors, and other critical equipment.

This card features a dual-channel configuration, meaning it can simultaneously monitor two measurement points. It provides continuous data on machine vibration or axial displacement, making it essential for predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring in industrial processes.

The 3500/22M card is designed to work with the Bently Nevada 3500 Series System, which consists of a rack-based architecture where multiple cards (modules) are installed into a central monitor to assess various aspects of machinery health and performance.
